Ok, so there hasn't been a lot of update recently, as most of my Year of Projects things have been hibernating (see earlier posts about dissertations taking over my life). But I do have one finished project to show you
I was trying to decide what to make V for her birthday, when I remembered how much she loved the sock monkeys I made earlier this year. So I decided to make her one. But since time has been limited, I ended up being in a massive rush to finish. It got so bad that I finished the monkey's right eye in the taxi on the way to the restaurant to celebrate (can you tell?). So excuse the mobile phone pictures!
But she loved it! It was worth sacrificing my favourite pair of socks. (And yes, I did tell her the socks were pre-worn). She spent the evening like this
So yes, not much to show for 3 weeks, but at least I have one finish. For more posts check here or the ravelry group

ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love sock monkeys too.
ReplyDeleteawwww - they look so happy together! How nice to finish such a perfect present just in time :)
ReplyDeletePre-worn socks are softer, of course. :) He's very cute--and I love the color of your friend's hair.
ReplyDeleteDid she name the monkey? Great job!
ReplyDeleteI finished sewing in a sleeve at a coffee shop once, so I can completely relate to finishing things in a cab! Your friend looks very pleased with the little monkey. Hope it was a good party!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute sock monkey and looks like your friend loved it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute :) I love making sock monkeys but I haven't done one in a while, might have to rectify this now!
